L INING FOR THE FIRE-POTS OF STOVES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 394,494, dated December 11, 1888.

Application tiled November 29, 1887. Serial No. 256,447. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: y

Be it known that I, SAMUEL KOPS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Linings for the Fire- Pots of Stoves; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to lmake and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and iigures ot' reference marked thereon, which form a part ot this specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in stoves ot that class in which kerosene, gasoline, or the like, is employed as the heating medium; and the novelty consists in the peculiar combinations and the construction, arrangement, and adaptation of parts, all as more fully hereinafter described, shown in the drawings, and then particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, which, together with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this specification, Figure l is a vertical section ot' a stove provided with my improvement. Fig. 2 is a top plan of the bottom plate removed.

Referring to the drawings by letter, A designates a stove-body ol" any suitable construe tion.

The lire brick or lining B is composed of Suitable porous material, having formed in the back thereof near the top a transverse groove or recess, ce, in which is seated a pipe, C, perforated upon its side adjacent to the lining, as shown at b, and connected with the discharge-pipe c of the tank D.

I sometimes prefer to line the recess a with cotton, asbestus, or some analogous material, as shown at d at Fig. l, to absorb a portion of the oil and prevent it from llowing too rapidly.

The tank D may be supported in any suitable way, either in proximity to the stove or as far removed therefrom as may be desired.

Instead of a grate, I use a plate, E, which is provided centrally with an aperture, e, for the admission of air to the interior of the combustion-chamber and to the llame. In its upper face this plate is provided with a plurality of depressions, to collect any surplus fluid that is not consumed by the flames. This plate, together with the linings l, can be se cured within the stove-body in any manner well known to the art, and will serve equally as well when the oil is not used and it is desired to use the stove in the ordinary way for a wood or coal fire.

The discharge-pipe c of the tank is provided with a suitable cock, f, by means ot' which the supply of oil to the bricks may be regulated or cut ott entirely, as occasion may require, and at the bottom of the combustion-chamber I provide an outlet-pipe, 7L, which is designed to be connected with or empty into a suitable receptacle, (not shown,) and is provided to take off the surplus oil or to prevent overflow of the same should the supply be left turned on after the tire is extinguished.

The operation is apparent. The cock in the discharge-pipe c being turned on, the oil ilows from the tank to said pipe, thence through the same to the pipe C, and through the perforations in the same (and through the absorbent material when such is used) into the bricks, through the pores ot which it soon flows, thus saturating the same and feeding the flame as long as the supply is on.

Of course the shape and size of the bricks or linings will be varied to accommodate the stove in which they are used, and the lining maybe made whole or in sections, as most convenient.

I am aware that it is not new to lorm a brick with a cavity to receive a pipe and to perforate said brick to provide means ot' escape for the steam or gas introduced into said brick through the pipe. I am also aware that it has been proposed to use a mass of asbestus as a surrounding for an oil-supply pipe in a furnace as a safeguard against accidents by fire, and do not seek to cover either of these constructions. I provide a lining for stoves which adapts the stove for use either in the ordinary way, with wood or coal, or with oil, or both, if desired, and by making the brick imperforate on its side nearest the interior of the tire-pot and placing the asbestus in the ,recess in which the pipe is located all danger of combustion of the oil in the pipe and from thence to the IOO tank is absolutely avoided. The sections of 'lining with the pipe seated in the recess therein may be placed upon the market as a new article of manufacture, made of different sizes to accommodate the Various styles and sizes of stoves.

What I claim as new is- 1 l. As an improved article of manufacture, a lining for stoves, formed oi' fire-brick or the like, in sections, imperforate on the inner face', and formed With a recess, with a pipe perinanently seated in said recess and perforated, substantially as described.

2. The combination, With the tan-k, its discharge-pipaand the stove-body, of the fixed porous lining Within said body, and formed Withrecess a, the pipe C, seated in said recess and perforated on the side adjacent to the able source of supply, of the plate E, provided with depressions f and central aperture, e, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

In testimonywh ereof I aff x my signature in 3o presence of two witnesses.

SAMUEL KOPS.
